Clutch slipping on 93 Honda Accord

The clutch just started slipping on my 93 Honda Accord. A couple days ago I thought it was a bit of the black ice that was on the roads. Today though, the roads were completely dry. Best to have it adjusted or the clutch replaced. Thanks for your help.

If the clutch is hydraulic, it most likely has some air in the line. I had that problem on my 87 Saab. When it got hot the air would expand and the clutch would slip. In my case the master clutch cylinder was leaking and allowing air to enter the system.

I am totally unfamiliar with the particular setup you have, however I know a bit about clutches, Sifting through what you said, it appears that your clutch is set up too tight. By this I mean that the throwout bearing is always pressing on the release diaphram (or fingers) on the clutch cover. As you drive this is causing the clutch disc to overheat and slip. The repeated bleeding you are doing likely has no effect on this other than that the time you spend bleeding is allowing the clutch assembly to cool off. If the slave cylinder is part of the throwout bearing and is inside the bellhousing you need to remove it and get one that is slightly shorter. If the slave is mounted on the bellhousing and activates a clutch fork that moves the bearing you will need to find a means of backing off the slave adjustment so there is a bit of freeplay between it and the fork. likely since you can drive it you are looking at 1/4" or less play to get it right. My only concern would be that you may have overcentered the fingers on the pressure plate and damaged the return spring. slipping the clutch also has not done good things to the disc either. (like driving down the road with your foot on the brake is not good for brake pads)Good luck with your project !!

try bleeding the lines, if you pump the clutch its compressing the fluid and the sensor is picking up that the clutch is disinguaged, if theres air in the lines the sensor wont register the clutch position.

is your ac compressor located on the left side as well and also try your ac if its not blowing to cold the rattling could be your ac clutch on the compressor if that is you will have to get a new clutch kit from your local auto parts store to fix it
